Hi cibin,

Currently there is no straightforward way to arrange boxes against the X value of each series. One possible crude work-around is to insert empty columns between data columns to make the positions proportional to the actual X values (means you may need to insert bunch of empty columns based on the G.C.D. of gaps between columns' X values). See the sample below:

Another alternative, if you need to show simple boxes and whiskers, may be to plot a "Japanese Candlestick" chart. You don't have to insert filler columns like in my previous post, and can use the actual Date values for X. But, you have not much statistical controls like in the Box chart. You have to generate column statistics (e.g., 25/75 percentiles and Min/Max).

Hi all on this thread,

In the newly released Origin 9.1, position-controlled (e.g. time-series) box chart is possible (as well as the width control and grouping). Please see the samples:

Hi,

is there some new recent progress here? Still looking for the possibility to plot statistical data. I do "descriptive statistics on columns" then I receive an extra sheet called "DescStatsCurves" this is quite handy and I can make my boxplots directly from it however it is not sorted (column wise) in the proper way. let's say I have a header line called thickness (numeric) and I can set the boxplots "x-position" depending on a header row. this is almost what I want, but since the columns are not sorted the "connect median" line is messed up. sorting of the columns is not possible since there is still "recalculation" possible and I don't want to lose that.

same problem if I do grouped boxplots then also the numerical x data is read as text I think. Any possibility to do numerically correct plots here?

thank you.

Best,
D

1). There might not be a straightforward solution for that. You better extract the medians and plot a line+symbol overlay.

2). Changing the background data won't affect the existing axis label configuration, and by default, box charts are using strings as labels. But you can always go back to Axis Dialog and switch it to numeric after setting the custom X.
